Composition/information on ingredients Name CAS number % Sodium Hydroxide % 4. First aid measures Eye contact: Skin contact: Inhalation: Ingestion: Note to physician If this product enters the eyes, open eyes while under gently running water. Use sufficient force to open eyelids. Roll eyes to expose more surface. Minimum flushing is for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention immediately. Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing, taking care not to contaminate eyes. If skin becomes irritated and irritation persists, medical attention may be necessary. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse, discard contaminated shoes. Move person to fresh air and keep at rest. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If conscious, wash out mouth with water. Get medical attention immediately. There is not specific antidote. Treatment of overexposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient. Any material aspirated during vomiting may cause lung injury. Victims of chemical exposure should be taken for medical attention. 5. Fire-fighting measures Special Hazards Arising from the Substance or Mixture Fire-Fighting Equipment/Instructions Extinguishing media: During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed. Evacuate personnel to a safe area. As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Suitable extinguishing media such as water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: Wear self contained, approved breathing apparatus and full protective clothing, including eye protection and boots. 6. Accidental release measures Personal precautions: See section 8 for recommendations on the use of personal protective equipment. Page 2 of 5
